SEATTLE—Shohei Ohtani hit his second home run of the season, Taylor Ward added a two-run shot in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 7–3 on Monday night, April 3.
Ohtani drove a 1–1 pitch from George Kirby (0–1) an estimated 431 feet into the right-center field seats in the fifth inning for a 4–2 lead. Ohtani had grounded out in his first two at-bats before the rare home run off Kirby, who surrendered only one long ball during the final three months of last season.
